'It means the world to me': Igor Levit returns to perform in Israel - interview

Before returning to Tel Aviv for his first full recital since the war began, pianist Igor Levit speaks about solidarity with Israel, fighting antisemitism, and using music as a force for change.

Beyond his musical mastery, Levit stands out as one of today’s most politically engaged artists. ‘I wanted to use my craft to raise money for organizations that combat antisemitism and educate young people in schools regarding the roots and history of antisemitism.’
